Now you know, that's the 'happy' existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness.»

Author: Thornton Wilder
«Ninety-nine per cent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«Every good thing in the world stands on the razor-edge of danger.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference . . . and finds them incongruous. It dampens enthusiasm; it mocks hope; it pardons shortcomings; it consoles failure. It recommends moderation.»
Author: Thornton Wilder
«A play visibly represents pure existing.»
